I've updated my slideshow with more current bears. Most have been adopted, but not all so if you have a questions about any of them, please send me a note.And now I'm getting to work on the bears for Be My Valentine.

Beginning November 20 and running through December 20, Bid4Bears will take on a Holly Jolly Holidays look. Nancy lives in Ontario, Canada, and she tells us Santa is a personal friend of hers and he'll be dropping by regularly to give random gifts to our bidders!

There will also be a special Fireside Chat on Thursday, December 11th, with a special guest in our Round Table Forum, as well as an ATC/ACEO swap and other neat surprises. Stop by and take a look at what will be happening.

The show was very successful with many bears being sold and several artists' booths sold out completely. Nancy did an extraordinary amount of work on this show in addition to all of her other obligations...she's a full-time wife and mother, a full time CSI in Canada, a web designer, owner of several sites for bear artists...and in her spare time, she makes award-winning teddy bears.

Kim Russell, well known Australian artist, won best of show for her Miss Lillie. Isn't she adorable? Kim is amazingly talented and Miss Lillie was snapped up shortly after the show opened.

I sold one bear, Annie, and I'll be shipping her off to her new home is Australia soon.I hope you all had a chance to stop by the showroom to see the variety of styles and sizes of beautiful bears.

It's finally here! The Ho Ho BearZ Show is getting ready to open for business. There will be 33 artists participating from all around the globe. All start times are EST and you'll find a reference on the Welcome page for the show. You can also see a sneak preview of a few of the bears. Here's my own little sneak peek.

About Me

I've been designing and creating my own teddy bears for a little less than 3 years, although I've have been involved in some form of creative expression throughout my life. Along with creating one-of-a-kind teddy bears, I enjoy quilting, beading and recently began classes in chain maille. I love them all!
